CWN Editor's Note: The papal Twitter account made its debut with a tweet by Pope Benedict XVI on December 12, 2012. A decade later, the account has over 53 million followers.
“Thank you to all who follow me on this account which was opened 10 years ago to proclaim the joy of the Gospel,” Pope Francis tweeted. “Let us continue to build up this network as a free space to promote encounter and dialogue and to value what unites us.”
